Mount St. Mary’s Online is on a mission to make education and employment more accessible, lower cost and high quality.

In 2012, Mount St. Mary’s College partnered with the MyCollege Foundation, a 501c(3) public charity funded by leading foundations including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to broaden access to high quality but affordable college education. Together, we created Mount St. Mary’s Online to accomplish this goal.

We're top-ranked and regionally accredited

Mount St. Mary’s Online is accredited by The Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Senior Commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), a regional accrediting body.

Regional accreditation is important to you for three reasons. First, when you go to college at a regionally accredited institution, you are eligible for Title IV funds for financial aid, such as Pell grants or Stafford loans. Second, when transferring credits, the majority of four-year colleges and universities only accept credits from regionally accredited institutions. And finally, employers and professional associations know that regionally accredited colleges and universities have a reputation for high quality, like Mount St Mary’s College, which is ranked among the top 20 regional universities in the West by US News & World Report.
